March 9, 201214 yr VICTORIA— It took 100 years for one B.C. man to tarnish his perfect driving record. The centenarian was stopped for speeding in a school zone Tuesday, a shock to a traffic officer in the Victoria suburb of Saanich when she saw the 1911 birthdate on a driver’s licence, which was good for another five years. The traffic officer pulled over the 100-year-old driver in a Buick Century when he was spotted going 50 kilometres an hour in a school zone, where the limit is 30 kilometres an hour. The man had a flawless driving record, so the traffic officer gave him a warning ticket. “I was shocked, not only at the 100 years of age, but the brand new five-year renewal driver licence,” said Const. Janice Carmena. Read more: http://www.timescolo...l#ixzz1odneFESd Of course it was a Century, what else would it be? When I clicked on this article I was expecting some sort of ridiculous 50+kph over the limit thing, but the fact that it was just forgetting to slow down for a school zone is almost funnier because we all do this sometimes.
